$10,000 will buy 2000 gallons of gas at $5. At a difference 40 vs 45 mpg, you save 2.77 gallons of gas per 1000 miles driven. So, you'd need to drive 720K miles to make up for the price difference. At $2.50-$300 gas, basically double that.
And then there is the Yaris...P-O-P was looking to buy one of those, with the incentives and discounts, for something stupid like around $6K. $10K and then $4K for CFC, back last summer.
How on earth can you make up for $10K vs $27K in gas savings, let alone $6K vs. $27K. Even at $10/gallon, it's a long row to hoe.
